I've been asked a number of times how this 'wonder diet' is fitting into normal 'family feeding'.
To be blunt, it isn't.
Most of the 'wonder meals' really don't appeal to my crew, a little too much chilli, coriander, garlic and couscous! So for these twenty-one days it's two separate meals on the go. I tell myself it's only twenty-one days. And thankfully wet weather has kept Matthew close to home and he's been a great help with the dinner cooking.
I fit in a walk again this afternoon, more squelching and slipping but a walk all the same. With rain predicted again for us over the weekend my exercise program may be somewhat hindered yet again.
Breakfast today was a hearty serve of corn fritters.
Very nice.
No hunger pangs after these beauties, so a plum for morning tea worked well.
Lunch was an asparagus frittata
served with a rocket & capers salad.
And dinner was possibly my favourite for the week
Linguine Marinara.
No hunger today. Feeling good.
Sending a huge cheerio to my good friend Niki who has today boarded the 'Wonder-Train'.
Here's to us!
Day 5, done and dusted!
Five down, sixteen to go.
now today's menu looked rather delicious - and more gold stars to you for cooking two meals at each meal time!
ReplyDeleteoh please send me some rain...its just teasing up here - again we are in the middle, the nice and sunny middle...
Keep going, you're doing great. The days are flying (well they are in my world!).
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Fiona, I am looking forward to it & I am thrilled you are ahead so I can follow your lead. My ingredients all arrived at 8am this morning via Coles Online. Yay. So yesterday I just picked a brekky, lunch & dinner from the book that I had on hand, so it was a smoothie, egg muffin & the fish pilaf, well sorta. I was bloody starving by the days end.
ReplyDeleteThis morning was the melon medley & yoghurt, yeah that is gonna be hard going till lunch.
Ok I am focussed though.
And I think I may have to do 2 meals too.
I might do a big cook today to free me up during the week. So they'll be eating lasagne, spag bol & chicken casserole while I eat cous cous & salad. Ha. That's Harsh.
